Ah yes! That dreaded "s" word. :) Each one of my kids have come running to me to report someone as saying the "s" word. Calling someone stupid was most definitely never allowed. But calling poop stupid would be okay I guess. haha... I remember getting my mouth washed out with soap when my girlfriend told me it was okay to take the Lord's name in vain and to say hell. She saw it on her mom's soap opera so it had to be okay was her reasoning. :) I only had to say it once on the swing set with my dad in earshot... That was the ONLY time I said it!

lol we never swore at home either. My kids when they heard people swear began to laugh like it was the funniest thing. For other people it was normal to speak this way. Every second word a swear word.I guess the English language is limited to fewer words today but it isn't pleasant to sit at a table where every one swears. Parents say you either sit and take it or lose your kids.
